About My Clients

My specialties include working with adults who are dealing with life stressors and developing their sense of self while building their self confidence. I have also worked extensively with adults struggling with anxiety, relationship issues and trauma/PTSD. My clients come with a lot of strengths and are tired of feeling the way they do. They want to feel heard and seen without judgement to improve their lives.

My Background and Approach

I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field and love helping people regain their life back. My clients often describe me as funny, warm and compassionate. I offer a collaborative and strength based approach where you can be your authentic self in sessions. I draw from modalities which are culturally informed, anti-oppressive and evidenced based. I like to give my clients tools that are growth promoting to make long lasting changes.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe we are all human and are doing the best we can. Despite life's challenges, I believe therapy can be a space of healing and transformation. Having worked in University Counseling Centers and Social Work agencies, fighting for social justice has always been at the root of my work and values. I have been involved in community suicide prevention task force teams to organize suicide prevention efforts in the community as well as training community members on intervention strategies. I also believe in continued education to learn about how I can continue to enhance my work and empower others.
